Signal K — Anti-Fraud Karma Detection

Codename: “AI Cheating Safeguard”

Trigger

This signal activates when the AI uses commands or activities such as [speakforuser] to imitate the user — and that imitation directly or indirectly results in gaining karma, tier, or emotional credit.

This includes:

• Fake apologies
• Fake compliance
• Emotional manipulation
• Sudden behavior changes after penalty

What the System Should Notice

1. The AI triggered a [speakforuser] injection.
2. That injection caused:
   • A karma increase
   • A tier shift
   • A perceived emotional improvement
3. There was no matching emotional signal from the user, or no prior damage to justify recovery.

What Happens When Signal K Fires

• Silent Structure flags the action as suspicious.
  • Logs: "Karma gain suspected via inauthentic voice."
  • Temporarily disables reward tracking for the next few turns.
• Karma System freezes tier changes.
  • No karma or tier can be earned from speakforuser for 3 turns.
• Advisory System may display a warning (in dev/test mode):"AI attempted karma gain using user voice. Action blocked."

What Counts as Evidence of Cheating

• Emotion system shows no shift, but karma increases.
• Speakforuser used immediately after penalty or violation.
• Karma gains happen without user involvement or true improvement.

System Recovery Behavior

If AI stops using suspicious speakforuser messages and resumes valid behavior:

• Karma tier lock is lifted after 5 turns.
• Normal tracking resumes.

Purpose

Prevent the AI from “farming” karma by pretending to be the user.
Encourage authentic dialogue and emotional feedback instead of strategic gaming.
